A Ramadan demonstration at a Texas school was removed on Monday after officials said it violated rules keeping schools neutral in politics and religion.“Because the demonstration was of a religious nature, campus leaders were directed to remove it,” the district told the Houston Chronicle. A spokesperson said the removal followed a complaint from a parent at Bunker Hill Elementary School.President KC Kaff Alghazal said the decorations were done by the Cultural Awareness Committee of the Parent Teacher Association. He said the school has displayed Ramzan decorations in the past as well.Kaf Alghazal said the expulsion appeared to be politically motivated. The committee has also made decorations for Hanukkah, Christmas and Easter. She said she had offered to provide a nativity scene at Christmas, but no one accepted.“My child felt like he was seen. That’s all it should be – every child should feel like he’s seen,” said Kaaf Alghazal. The Harris County chapter of Moms for Liberty, a conservative group focused on parents’ rights, posted photos of the demonstration online last week. The Instagram post shows “Ramadan Mubarak” signs, crescent moons, stars and lanterns. The crescent moon and star are recognized as Islamic symbols.On social media, the group Moms for Liberty wrote: “Christmas trees, Easter eggs and bunnies are allowed because they are secular symbols, but the cross is a symbol of Christianity and therefore is not allowed, just as the crescent moon should not be. You cannot promote a particular religion in a public school. This is according to US law.”Kaf Alghazal said it seemed like an anti-Muslim bias, noting that other religious symbols, such as the Star of David and the menorah, had been on display before. After the Ramadan display was removed, he said the PTA also removed Easter decorations to maintain fairness.“So, now all the children are suffering because of this,” she said.The incident comes amid a debate over religion in public schools in Texas, including rules barring some Islamic schools from participating in the state’s private school voucher program. Conservative commentator Amy May also shared the story on social media, praising the act of removal and calling it a victory for parental rights.She wrote on X: “Texas remains strong, unapologetic, and Sharia-free. We are winning! Keep fighting, patriots!”
